Facilities
Most Siena teams make their homes on
campus, competing in and around the
Marcelle Athletic Complex (MAC). In the
spring of 2007, the department opened a
multiple-purpose, artificial turf, outdoor
athletic facility which serves as a venue for
Siena lacrosse, field hockey and soccer in
addition to intramurals. There is also a grass
soccer field and the softball field adjacent to
the turf field which both received major
enhancements and upgrades just prior to
the 2011-12 season.
Inside the MAC, Siena student athletes have
all the amenities to ensure they can succeed
at the Division I level. Most recently, the
Raymond Center, Home of the Harry
Mikhitarian Golf Training Facility was dedicated in May 2010 and includes a custom
putting green, an indoor driving range, a
swing/video analysis center, a players' lounge,
club storage area and coaches' offices. The
men's and women's basketball and volleyball
locker rooms were all refurbished in the fall
of 2009.
The women's basketball and volleyball teams
play their home contests at the 4,000-seat
Alumni Recreation Center (ARC) which
underwent a facelift in 2011 in which the
playing floor was resurfaced and new
artwork was added.
The Siena men's basketball team makes its
home at the Times Union Center in downtown Albany. The Times Union Center is a
regionally acclaimed facility billed as
Upstate New York's premier sports and
entertainment destination and last season
was selected as the "Best College/Pro
Sporting Even in the Past Year" by the
Albany Times Union's Best of the Capital
Region. Since its full-time move to the Times
Union Center prior to the 1996-97 season, the
men's basketball teams' home attendance
has soared to 66th in the country. A record
133,505 fans (7,853/game) turned out for
Siena's 17 home games in 2009-10.
